4 A necessary condition for x 0 to be an interior max or min of y = f (x) is that the first derivative of f at x 0 be zero. The definitions of maximum and minimum for a function of several variables are the same as the definitions for a function of one variable. Let F : U R 1 be a real valued function of n variables, whose domain U is a subset of R n. A point x U is a max or min of F on U if F (x ) > F (x) for all x = x in U. Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 4 / 50

5 Theorem Let F : U R 1 be a function defined on a subset of R n. If x is a local max or min of F in U and if x is an interior point of U, then F x i (x ) = 0 for i = 1,..., n. The first order condition for a point x to be a max or a min of a function f of one variable is that f (x ) = 0. The same first order condition applies for a function F of n variables. The n dimensional analogue of f (x ) = 0 is that each F x i = 0. Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 5 / 50

6 Maximize F (x, y) = x 3 y 3 + 9xy F x = 3x 2 + 9y = 0 F y = 3y 2 + 9x = 0 Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 6 / 50

7 From the first equation 3x 2 + 9y = 0 Substitute into the second equation 9y = 3x 2 y = 1 3 x 2 3y 2 + 9x = 0 ( 3 1 ) 2 3 x 2 + 9x = x 4 + 9x = 0 x x = 0 x ( x ) = 0 Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 7 / 50

8 Solutions are either x = 0 or x = 3. This corresponds to y = 1 3 (0)2 = 0 and y = 1 3 (3)2 = 3. The candidates for max or min of F are the two points (0, 0) and (3, 3). These points are called the critical points. We are unable to determine which is a max and which is a min. Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 8 / 50

9 To determine whether a critical point is a max or a min, we need to use a condition on the second derivatives of F. The second order condition for a critical point x of a function f on R 1 to be a max is that the second derivative f (x ) be negative. The corresponding condition for a function F on n variables is that the second derivative with repect to all its arguments be negative definite. The second order condition for a critical point x of a function f on R 1 to be a min is that the second derivative f (x ) be positive. The corresponding condition for a function F on n variables is that the second derivative with repect to all its arguments be positive definite. Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 9 / 50

10 Theorem Let F : U R 1 be a function whose domain is an open set U in R 1. Suppose that F x i (x ) = 0 for i = 1,..., n. In addition, the n leading principal minors of D 2 F (x ) alternate in sign. Then, x is a strict local max of F. [F xx ] < 0 [ Fxx F Determinant of yx F xy F yy ] = (F xx ) (F yy ) (F yx ) (F xy ) > 0 Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 10 / 50

11 Theorem Let F : U R 1 be a function whose domain is an open set U in R 1. Suppose that F x i (x ) = 0 for i= 1,..., n. In addition, the n leading principal minors of D 2 F (x ) are all positive. Then, x is a strict local min of F. [F xx ] > 0 [ Fxx F Determinant of yx F xy F yy ] = (F xx ) (F yy ) (F yx ) (F xy ) > 0 Sherif Khalifa () Optimization 11 / 50

12 Theorem Let F : U R 1 be a function whose domain is an open set U in R 1. Suppose that F x i (x ) = 0 for i= 1,..., n. In addition, the n leading principal minors of D 2 F (x ) violate the sign patterns in the previous hypotheses. Then, x is neither a strict local min or local max of F. x is called a saddle point.
